AMD XP or P4 best for streaming video?

Greetings all potential gurus,
A customer told me he read that P4 cpus were rated better for viewing streaming video than AMD XPs. Aware of the 512k cache level of P4s at or above 2.0 gHz and the jump from 400 to 533 mHz FSB do these factors out perform the XPs architectural superiority at the 2000+ or higher levels? What do ya think.
Anyone using an AMD XP with streaming video and happy? Any specs appreciated. Thanks
CB

If you mean those movies on the internet, the ones that play while they load, you can play those on any pc, even a 300Mhz P2 or something, as long as your internet connection is fast enough to buffer the video.
This doesn't take advantage of a large cpu cache size or a faster FSB at all.

Honestly, it's Intel's propaganda he's spouting.
Your biggest bottleneck is your network connection.

This customer that told you that, his last name didnt happen to be "Barret", did it?

No, not Barret. And this customer is interested more in using video creation software to create educational presentations to burn onto 4.7 gig DVD +RWs

DVD burners will run fine on a P3 1000 or even less of a CPU speed. Burning DVD and CDR is more a funvtion now with modern burniners of the software and precaching than the raw horsepower of ur system. if ur concerned about graphics in games for the next 2-3 years thats a different story but just burning DVD and streaming videos just about any AMD or Intel based puter running 1000 or better wil be more than enough.
